StrategyOne of the aims of Ride UK is to provide a central location where people can find out about promoted riding routes. These might be long distance linear or circular routes and shorter community circuits. If you know of, or are planning, any such routes and they are not listed below, please let us know. We will add them to the list so that work is not duplicated! Email the BHS Access Office with details.
Another aim is to develop new routes to reflect the modern needs of
riders in Scotland.
Promoted Routes
| Route | Location | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Galloway Forest Park | Dumfries & Galloway | >650km |
| Buccleuch Country Ride | Scottish Borders | 90km 57 miles |
| Tyne Esk Trails | Midlothian | various |
| South of Scotland Countryside Trails | South Scotland | various |
| Trail of the Seven Lochs (External link) | South Loch Ness | various |
